...Tommy Burns.  The song brings back memories to us fortunate enough to have watched Tommy from his early days at Celtic.  We all remember his twisting runs, depicted here at every stage of his playing career.  

 As well as mesmerising opponents, Tommy also scored many memorable and important goals.  Two of them are included in the painting - scoring against Rangers in the 4-4 draw and a magnificent header against Sporting Lisbon.

St Mary's church played a significant role in his life.  The parish where, in 1887, the first meeting took place to form the institution that is Celtic fc.  This is also the church where Tommy would ralways return to worship.  Brother Walfrid, the founder of Celtic, looks on.

My favourite image though, is the primary school kid, instantly recognised by his flaming red hair, kicking a ball about the back streets of Glasgow's east end, St Mary's school in the background.
